MJF made Punk run the gauntlet as he ran through every single member of\u00a0<strong>The Pinnacle<\/strong>. With no one left to hide behind, MJF has decided that it&#8217;s time to stop running and it&#8217;s time to start fighting. These two have gone at it for a long while now and everybody just wants to see the inevitable collision happen.<\/p>\n<p>To Punk&#8217;s credit, he provoked and taunted MJF every step of the way. In Maxwell&#8217;s very first match of 2022, CM Punk hit <strong>Capt. Shawn Dean<\/strong> with the Go To Sleep that caused a disqualification. With this finish, MJF started the new year with a 0-1 record. Punk poked the bear first. However, MJF wasn&#8217;t expected to just stand around and take it. On last week&#8217;s <em>Dynamite<\/em>, MJF <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1T-Z_OK3UbE\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unleashed<\/a> &#8220;Mr. Mayhem&#8221;\u00a0<strong>Wardlow<\/strong> violently putting Punk through the Powerbomb Symphony.<\/p>\n<p>With this rivalry reaching its tipping point, it&#8217;s only fitting that this war happens in Chicago, Illinois in front of the most vocal and rabid fans the sport of professional wrestling has ever seen, There&#8217;s nowhere left to run or hide, it&#8217;s clobbering time Wednesday night on\u00a0<em>Dynamite<\/em>. Will MJF embarrass the hometown hero on his way to a victory? Or will CM Punk finally put Maxwell Jacob Friedman to sleep?<\/p>\n<h2>An Eye for An Eye<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Do the Kings of the Black Throne Say is &#039;Inevitable&#039;? | AEW Beach Break, 1\/26\/22\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ef4nb9bpudg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>The House of Black<\/strong> has caused huge devastation to\u00a0<strong>AEW<\/strong> since\u00a0<strong>Malakai Black\u00a0<\/strong>entered the fray.

However, there might be a couple of individuals chomping at the bit to exact some much-needed revenge against the two monsters.<\/p>\n<p>Malakai attempted to blind\u00a0<strong>PAC<\/strong> with the black mist. On two different occasions, Black employed this tactic temporarily taking away &#8220;The Bastard&#8217;s&#8221; ability to see. Now that PAC is back and better than ever, he&#8217;s out to destroy the man who almost cost him his career. Joining him in this fight is his Death Triangle stablemate <strong>Penta El Zero Miedo<\/strong>. These two factions will pull no punches and fans should expect a bloodbath come Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the House of Black versus Death Triangle, and it all goes down on Wednesday night on\u00a0<em>AEW Dynamite<\/em> only on TBS!<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
